Analyzes and slightly irradiates your enemies! — Giger Counter publicity blurb

”

The Giger Counter is a community-created secondary weapon for the Engineer. It is a device made of dark grey and black metal that emits a team-colored light. It features a black grip with a joystick on top, a team-colored flip switch on the back of the grip, a radar screen connected via a team-colored cable, and warning stripes on the front.

This weapon functions identically to the Wrangler.

The Giger Counter was contributed to the Steam Workshop.
